Comment on Unity’s VirtualMethodInterceptor with internal classes by Andy

I raised a bug against Unity, but it was closed with “The InternalVisibleTo approach is a hack and not supportable going forward.”

Cheers Andy. I’ve been banging my head against this for a couple of hours now.

BTW Unity 2.0 has been officially released and the VirtualMethodInterceptor STILL checks for the targeted type being public: http://unity.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/50871#427102

Andrei – it sounds like the ICalculator interface is not registered. Did you do the regasm step?

Hi,
I have tried this on Windows 7 and can’t get it to work. In the C++ client, I can obtain a pointer to the IClassFactory interface with CoGetClassObject but when I try to create an instance of ICalculator from the class factory I get E_NOINTERFACE. Any ideas would be highly appreciated.. Thanks

Pentax has software to do that called “Remote Assistance”. It comes with the camera, but I’ve never tried it.

So, being a programmer and pentax camera owner, have you found any clues of how to write code to control the camera? Specifically, it would be fun to use the computer to control the camera and do things like….time-lapse photography, or have it sync with a sensor that would tell the camera to fire at a specific time, etc…fun stuff like that.

Thanks for the clear walkthru! I was tweaking my 50mm f1.2 due to excessive front focus, and couldn’t dial enough in with the regular menu. Now it get a 1:1 match between AF indication of focus, viewfinder focus, and the correct spot on the image in focus.

I believe VB6 CreateObject allows you to specify a server name as the second parameter, so you'd need to do that:

Dim myComp as Object
Set myComp = CreateObject("MyProgID", "MyServerName")

In the case where everything is on one machine, using "localhost" as the server name should work.

Hi Alessando – you need to specify CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER AND/OR CLSCTX_REMOTE_SERVER on the client. If you specify CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER you'll hit the problem you describe.

I did a trial with your proposed solution, and it works, but not as expected.
The .exe external process, is not called over dcom, but the .exe is loaded INTERNALLY at the client.
I have read other similar threads and it's the expected behavior.
Mayb it's needed to change reg keys to point to the external com server.

Comment on WPF Toolkit DataGrid is an uggo by Andy McMullan

Andy McMullan — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 08:58:33 +0000

The dotted black border is to show keyboard users which cell has the focus, so you probably don't want to get rid of it completely. But if you really want to, you can do it by setting the FocusVisualStyle property on the DataGridCell, e.g.:

Great!! and when I use the mouse to select a row it is fine, but if I step down with the arrow-down-key, I get a cell with a dotted black border… How do I get rid of this?
